SNK left us waiting until December for the Neo Geo X to finally launch, but just a month later and the writing already seems to be on the wall for the machine.

Reports coming out of Japan suggest the initial production run of the handheld has completed and there is no intention of doing a second one. For the moment that’s only the case for Japan, but surely if it isn’t doing well in Japan it’s not going to be selling great numbers elsewhere.

Apparently SNK will continue to release new games for the system, but if no more are produced that isn’t going to continue for very long.

If you still want a Neo Geo X I’d suggest you go out and buy one as soon as possible. Chances are stock is going to dry up very quickly, and if no more are produced it could form a bit of a collector’s item, especially if you manage to get the replica console and joystick the Neo Geo X Gold ships with.

The official site has a Where to buy page showing you where the handheld is being sold. A quick check shows that Amazon is shipping them for $199.99 and have stock.
